Mid-Century (1952) BAUSCH & LOMB Optical Frame Warmer Eyeglass Heat Lamp Light

Description

I wasn't able to find much information on this lamp, or to verify the information. My understanding is that it the lamp was patented in 1952 by Bausch & Lomb. It was called a Frame Warmer, and it was used by optometrists to adjust bent metal eyeglass frames back into shape. I don't think it's terribly common.
Overall dimensions are about 14.75" tall (with shade) and 8" diameter. Tested and w
orking. Dusty. Initially, it was smoking the dust off of the light bulb. I am including the bulb with the sale, but I am not guaranteeing working condition of the bulb on arrival. The lamp is missing the front B&L emblem. Some of the information isn't filled in on the rear tag. It sells as is. Please note that I have a three business day handling time.
